Overview
Advantages
Enables uncompressed digital video component signal
transport over any standard optical transport system
Supports standard, MSA compliant optical transceivers
Supports digital video links over fiber optic cabling to
distances of 120 km or more
MRV’s digital video SFPs are the industry’s first solution designed to affordably transmit digital video component
signals over fiber using standard optical transceivers. Compatible with any optical transport system – WDM platforms,
digital cross-connects, etc. – these unidirectional digital video SFPs open a new world of cost-effective digital video
deployment options.
- Link extension over new or existing fiber plant
- Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM and DWDM)
- Link redundancy for mission critical applications
- Video distribution/multicasting
... and more!
SDI, HD-SDI, and DVB are the basic standards employed in the transport of serial component digital video data on
single coaxial cable. Using coaxial cable between the signal source and destination limits the link range to 350 meters,
or to 140 meters for high definition. This distance is generally adequate for intra-building or small campus networks.
However, the advent of geographically dispersed studio campuses requires more and more digital video data to travel
across the sophisticated optical infrastructure of the metro and inter-metro network. Links of 100 kilometers or more
and the use of WDM technology are increasingly common. Merging digital video traffic onto these optical transport
networks is further complicated by the encoding methods for these protocols.
